[edit:mgowill] The regents want to fire the new coach. Edited the title to reflect.January 13th, 2019 at 7:41 PM ^
Not sure why I put OT. This has been a hot topic.
January 13th, 2019 at 7:42 PM ^
OT is probably apt because what you wrote didn’t happen.
January 13th, 2019 at 7:52 PM ^
Not a good look for warde at all. They must be PISSED, as well they should. This was such a fucking boneheaded hire, absolutely clueless and tone deaf on warde's part.
January 13th, 2019 at 7:56 PM ^
Warde hasn’t been great so far, but this was such a stupid and useless fuck up. Then that pr statement talking about how the kids are so excited for her.
I’m sure that gymnast was excited to fuck her coach too. Sometimes the adults need to lead.
January 13th, 2019 at 8:35 PM ^
I have a close friend who was a baseball coach at Buffalo while Warde was AD. He thought Warde was a lazy AD. He said overall he’s a decent person just wasn’t a strong leader.
Also, while my buddy was a coach for the Buffalo baseball team, the AD (which I believe was Warde) decided the cut the program mid season. They found out while they were coming home from an away game. Kinda of shitty way to cut a program if you ask me.

Windy City do you know what you just did when you said,”which I believe was Warde?” Lol, some people will just do anything to slander a good person!
January 13th, 2019 at 8:53 PM ^
Must be bad if an East German Judge has that opinion...
January 13th, 2019 at 7:48 PM ^
Maybe a mod can edit the OP as I clearly forgot some important punctuation.
January 13th, 2019 at 7:56 PM ^
Your right!
January 13th, 2019 at 8:13 PM ^
January 13th, 2019 at 7:41 PM ^
You lack reading comprehension.
January 13th, 2019 at 7:41 PM ^
They’re pleading that she should be fired.
January 13th, 2019 at 7:41 PM ^
It needs to be done, and soon.
January 13th, 2019 at 7:41 PM ^
I think you read that headline wrong...
January 13th, 2019 at 7:42 PM ^
Wrong OP. Some regents are asking for her to be fired.
Big difference
January 13th, 2019 at 7:43 PM ^
Your comment was edited so mine didn’t make sense anymore, so I’ve changed mine, too...
January 13th, 2019 at 7:42 PM ^
That’s the Michigan difference. Sort of.
January 13th, 2019 at 8:04 PM ^
Regents give gymnastics the Michigan “I beg to” differ-ence.
January 13th, 2019 at 7:43 PM ^
Somebody is missing a colon.
January 13th, 2019 at 7:46 PM ^
You would be correct.
January 13th, 2019 at 7:54 PM ^
Lol. OP is a Moran!
January 13th, 2019 at 8:44 PM ^
Time for a colonoscopy to find it
January 13th, 2019 at 8:54 PM ^
How will they poop then?
January 13th, 2019 at 7:44 PM ^
The colon has never been more important. Well...
Edit: damn you!
January 13th, 2019 at 7:51 PM ^
Let’s eat grandma.
January 13th, 2019 at 7:53 PM ^
wrong thread

EDIT: Reading is fundamental.
January 13th, 2019 at 7:55 PM ^
sorry for the clutter. I thought I was in the game thread.
January 13th, 2019 at 7:58 PM ^
Errors upon errors. If they want to now they’ll have to pay a nice penny to buy her out or her attorney is going to have a field day with a wrongful termination suit.
January 14th, 2019 at 12:17 AM ^
I just got finished reading her congressional testimony that Brian linked to on Twitter. It seems to me she has a strong case for unlawful termination against USAG. In my line of work, we are reminded about the Whistle-blower act that states you can’t be retaliated against by your employer for reporting fraud or abuse. It appears to me that she did the right thing, only not quickly enough for the mob who doesn’t care about the facts.
She should be thanked for being part of the effort that exposed Nassar and eventually got him convicted. Instead, the hypocrites here are blasting her hire because of the “bad optics” for the University. I am sorry but considering how this affects the university’s reputation is exactly the kind of thinking that led MSU to do the wrong thing over and over again.
What are the facts? Judge her case on the facts, not on the opinions of the uninformed.
January 13th, 2019 at 8:01 PM ^
I gotta join a pay board.
January 13th, 2019 at 8:08 PM ^
Regardless of the erroneous OP, this really makes our university look incredibly stupid and selfish. And will give a ton of fuel to you know whos of the blog.
January 13th, 2019 at 8:11 PM ^
Bueller ... I mean Warde! Bad look. How dumb.
January 13th, 2019 at 8:15 PM ^
I just emailed ol Wardey:
I am writing to express my extreme displeasure with the hiring of Rhonda Faehn to the gymnastics staff.
My wife and I are expecting our first child in February and before this announcement was made, we were talking about how it would be fun when our child is older to go to a gymnastics event. I am a season ticket holder for football and regular attender of basketball games but I can assure you that we will not step foot into any venue where there was anyone attached to the Larry Nassar sexual assault scandal. You knew this and still approved the hire.
Please reconsider this hire as it makes you, the Athletic Department, and the University as a whole look terrible.
January 13th, 2019 at 8:32 PM ^
I've been emailing too, not convinced that the twitter account is his but he has lots of complaints there
January 13th, 2019 at 8:19 PM ^
Regardless of Warde, it shows we don’t have a team of dildos on our board, like mooU.
January 13th, 2019 at 8:20 PM ^
How was she hired in the first place?!
How did OP decide to write the title of this thread?!
JFC
January 13th, 2019 at 8:24 PM ^
Just a total shitshow. This puts Warde right up there with Savvy Jack at ND and Mark Hollis at Staee.
January 13th, 2019 at 8:28 PM ^
Might as well fire Warde’s clueless butt while they’re at it
January 13th, 2019 at 8:30 PM ^
I’d rather Warde get fired than have this lady allowed near Michigan athletics. If that’s the bill Warde wants to die on, that’s fine.
January 13th, 2019 at 8:28 PM ^
There was no way this was going to sit well with, well......planet Earth.
That said, well done, Board Of Regents. Please get her off the payroll as soon as humanly possible.
January 13th, 2019 at 8:30 PM ^
Good thing nobody gives two fucks about gymnastics, otherwise this would be a national story on ESPN.
January 13th, 2019 at 8:58 PM ^
Good thing we do care about integrity and protecting student athletes. Otherwise we wouldn’t care about this hire.
January 13th, 2019 at 8:33 PM ^
Great move.
January 13th, 2019 at 8:34 PM ^
This is a shitshow. When they hired Warde they said, "no matter how bad you fuck up you'll never be dave brandon" It appears Warde took them too seriously.
January 13th, 2019 at 9:03 PM ^
Absolutely horrible. Fire her now.
January 13th, 2019 at 9:11 PM ^
She's gone now. Just announced
January 13th, 2019 at 9:16 PM ^
Our bum of an AD should be next. See-ya, don’t let the door hit ya on the way out.
